James Turrell opens new Skyspace in Denmark

James Turrell, the American artist known for his light installations, has debuted a new Skyspace in Denmark. In an interview, he discusses his Quaker upbringing, a collaboration with Kanye West, and his long-held ambition to create a volcanic crater artwork. The Skyspace is a room with an opening in the ceiling that frames the sky, a format he has explored since the 1970s. Turrell's work often involves manipulating light and space to alter perception. The new piece is part of a larger trend of experiential art installations. Turrell also mentions his ongoing project at Roden Crater, an extinct volcano in Arizona, which he has been transforming into a massive observatory for light and celestial events since the 1970s.
